Haeseker \u0026amp; Co. in Haarlem, a well-known Dutch publisher of religious works in the 19th century. The text follows the classic Statenvertaling, based on the translation established during the Synod of Dort (1618–1619).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book is bound in leather with blind-stamped decoration and a characteristic engraved metal clasp. The clasp is richly decorated with fine engravings and still functions well. This type of clasp was often used for personal devotional books and pocket Bibles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pages feature gilded edges, a detail that provided both protection against dust and a more luxurious appearance. Due to its compact size, this type of Bible was often used as a personal prayer book or taken on journeys.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe interior is largely well-preserved. There are a few loose pages at the back, but the book block is otherwise sturdy and complete.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA remarkable piece of religious printing that is both historically interesting and highly decorative in an interior or book collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-end=\"2515\" data-start=\"2167\"\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-end=\"2198\" data-start=\"2167\" data-section-id=\"hpode3\"\u003eTitle: The New Testament\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-end=\"2213\" data-start=\"2199\" data-section-id=\"y8ewi6\"\u003eYear: 1885\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-end=\"2257\" data-start=\"2214\" data-section-id=\"1r6ybm0\"\u003ePublisher: J.F.
